Maintaining Billboards
 
Hi all,

:confused:

I was just sitting quietly with white acrylic paint, a paint brush and about to re white my new Billboards that have lost some paint in transit.

My wife suggested there must be an easier way..%/

:confused:

Is there an easy way to re write the Billboards - paint pen or roller etc.

I know each one will take about an hour, but thought I would seek some advice or ideas.

Bernie..:confused:

Hi Bernie,
The originals were sprayed, so get yourself something like some of these Tire Lettering Stencils : Raceline Digital, Do More for Less
and dont forget to take your ID when buying spray paint. ;)

cheers

Yes will let them fade off - but in transit most of the centre has rubbed off.

Will try that. Is that the white lead style pencil or a liquid type?

Stencils
 
Hey Bernie,

I tried the stencils from Raceline, but used a brush with the special

tyre paint, not very sucessful, use the fabric pencil.
